G'day Terrified........I was just trawling around the forum (not much happening in the 1290GT section).....

I think you have a problem with your particular 1290S and should get onto the KTM dealer asap.

I've got a GT, and have never ridden the Adv-S......but one thing KTM are good at is fitting killer brakes.

If you have to squeeze hard, then something has gone fritz in your system.....pretty sure the techo's will reset some parameters or whatever and you'll be thrilled.......those brakes are Brembo's with Brembo pads (KTM part nos, but made by Brembo.....).
